Episode Synopsis

In the late 2000's the phrase "breaking down the monolith" was being uttered in every corner of the tech universe. The passion was connected to technical features like scalability and performance - even spawning a number of techniques and technologies for operating these isolated runtime components. The real win seemed to have been largely missed - the ability for teams to be separate and thus faster in their delivery. Organizations were ridding themselves of the need to coordinate all change and delivery across all teams. They were beginning to realize their potential. That beautiful awakening has stalled out somewhat - join Bob Provencher and I as we discuss the benefits and some of the tricks to bringing it freshly into your organization. — Bob Provencher is the Chief Technology Officer at PDHI, a Health and Wellness Platform-as-a-Service provider.
